Today I'm saddened by the news that crime fiction has lost one of it's leading men. Robert Parker has died.<br />
<br />
My condolences go out to the Parker family and to the mystery world.<br />

Rest in Peace, Robert.

I'm not working right now, at least not officially, but I run a business with my son who does have a full time job. If we have a big design project going, we have to schedule weekend time to do it. If there's a Monday holiday, that means we have three days to work instead of two. At the end of those three days, I'm absolutely beat. I'm telling you, my brain is tired.<br />

<br />
Before I shut down the computer for the night, I wanted to drop by and mention a few things. I'm enjoying the discussion on favorite mystery characters. Some I'd forgotten about, so no I have even more books to read. That's always a good thing.<br />
<br />
Also wanted to invite everyone over to <a href="http://kdblog.typepad.com" target="_blank">KdBlog</a> tomorrow. Peg Herring is stopping by to guest blog in the first installment of Tuesdays With Friends.<br />
<br />
Now, it's time for me to get away from this computer for a while and let my brain relax with a good book. I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend.<br />

Hi guys,<br />
I'm starting a new feature on my other blog, <a href="http://kdblog.typepad.com" target="_blank">KdBlog</a>, called Tuesdays With Friends. It's the day I invite another writer to take over the blog and run with it. It's a chance for me to make new friends, and a chance for other writers to talk about something that interests them and to promote their writing to a new set of readers. If anyone on Crimespace is interested in becoming a KdBlog Tuesday Friend, shoot me a message. Still have Tuesdays open in March, April and lots for summer and fall. If you have a book coming out and would like to do a post to coincide with your release date, we can probably make that happen.<br />
<br />
Would love to make a bunch of new Tuesday friends and find some awesome new authors to fill my already overflowing bookshelves.<br />

My name is KD Easley, and my mystery novel, Where the Dreams End came out in August of 2009. My promotion efforts have been small thus far, mostly social networking sites and word of mouth. So, now I'll give Crimespace a try. I love being part of a social networking site where everyone here is a mystery fan. I kind of feel like I've arrived home.<br />

My name is KD Easley, and my mystery novel, Where the Dreams End came out in August of 2009. My promotion efforts have been small thus far, mostly social networking sites and word of mouth. So, now I'll give Crimespace a try. I love being part of a social networking site where everyone here is a mystery fan. I kind of feel like I've arrived home.<br />
<br />
So far, I like Crimespace. It's easy to use, friendly and I hope to meet some new mystery fans here, but do I really have time to maintain another social networking site? Time will tell. I love the ease of connecting with people that social networking offers, but they can be serious time eaters and anything that keeps me from writing is not necessarily a good thing. On the other hand, if people don't know about your books, your writing career is going to be pretty short. It's a bit of a catch 22. We'll see how it goes.<br />
<br />
I'm rather friendless at the moment, so if anyone is looking for a mystery fan to hang out with, join me, or drop a comment on the blog. First five commenters get a prize.<br />
